In this article we want to show you how to install the CISS on Epson SX125 / 130 MFP. All actions can be divided into two stages: preparation of the CISS and the process of installing the CISS on the MFP.

Preparing the CISS to work. You need to fill ink into the CISS ink.  Insert the funnel into the hole for the paint and start to pour the ink (Figure 1).

Figure 1

You shouldn’t pour the ink to the end, leaving about 2 cm of air. Once you've poured the ink remove the funnels and to insert the rubber crock. You should open the air holes. Now we vended the cable and cartridges with the ink, for this pry off the plug on the cartridges and the CISS and insert them (Figures 2, 3, 4, 5).

Insert a clean syringe and pump out the air (Figure 6, 7, 8, 9, 10). Immediately insert the stopper on its place. Pumped all four colors in this manner.

As a result, we have the ink in the cartridges. In the ink tank we have something like this (Figure 11, 12).

Now we have to get rid form the air into the ink, for this stuff up an air hole by using the rubber crock (Figure 13).

Turn to the side and send the ink from the air part of the donors to the ink part (Figure 14).

It should look as shown in Figure 15,16,17.

Now proceed to the installation of CISS into the MFP. 

First you need to bring the carriage to the middle, for that you need to remove the fixing rod inside the carriage (Figure 18). You can do it with your finger.

Move the carriage to the middle (Figure 19).

You need the pass CISS through the hole for the cartridge replacement (Figure 20, 21)

Move the carriage to the parking lot (Figure 22).

Plug the power cord, turn on the MF, do the test nozzle. If you any problems leave the printer for a few hours, in order that the air would be released. If you need to clean the print head, you can see our article on "Disassembling and cleaning the print head".

Please note that the donor should be standing on the same level with the printer! You can't raise the donor!!!

Please note that the donors would have opened air holes!!!
